Want to display your username in the top panel? It’s easy to do this job in Ubuntu, Fedora Workstation and other Linux with GNOME Desktop via an extension.
After following this tutorial, you’ll see your username appear in the far right corner in top panel, just like the screenshot below shows you:
1. First, open Ubuntu Software, search for and install Extension Manager app.
